Nipsey Hussle's business partner, David A. Gross, took to Instagram to reveal the longstanding battle that he, Nip, and Blacc Sam had with the city of Los Angeles over The Marathon store. He shared a letter sent to him from Deputy City Attorney Nancy Hagan who essentially tried to blame them over some of the issues in the Crenshaw district.

"The Los Angeles City Attorney’s office was trying to end us. Literally. They wanted to expel The Marathon Store from Slauson Plaza. No doubt, if Nipsey was alive they’d still be stalking it, after doggedly pursuing him, his brother, his team and his businesses for damn near a decade. To no avail," he wrote. "So the City Attorney then came at me. And then sent the cops at me. And ultimately tried to leverage the press against me by leaking docs and emails to the NYtimes to smear us, and make our ownership of the lot seem like the problem in the Crenshaw District." 

He further explained that the issues they presented ultimately screwed up business plans. Peep the whole post below. 

At least 31 people were killed in back-to-back mass shootings over the weekend — first in El Paso on Saturday, then in Dayton, Ohio, 13 hours later — leaving the country shaken and refueling the national conversation on access to firearms.

On Sunday, in the wake of the shootings, Neil deGrasse Tyson, the astrophysicist who leads the American Museum of Natural History’s Hayden Planetarium, posted a tweet comparing statistics on other causes of death in comparison with gun deaths, writing: “Often our emotions respond more to spectacle than to data.”

For people still reeling from the tragedies, however, his perspective didn’t provide much comfort. What’s more, it was difficult to determine the accuracy of the data he shared.
